It is difficult to find someone who owns a work as complete in Brazilian music as Caetano Veloso. The singer, acclaimed in all corners of the planet where he stepped, reaches the age of 70 in full activity and creating new stories. When it comes to reframing then, he also does well. An example of this is the album “Caetano Veloso & Ivan Sacerdote”, released this Thursday (16th).

A true heavyweight, Caetano Veloso is a pop musician/poet/filmmaker/political activist whose stature in the pantheon of international pop musicians is on a par with that of Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, and Lennon/McCartney. And even the most cursory listen to his recorded output over the last few decades proves that this is no exaggeration.
Born in 1942 in Santo Amaro da Purificacao in Brazil's Bahia region, Veloso absorbed the rich Bahian musical heritage that was influenced by Caribbean, African, and North American pop music, but it was the cool, seductive bossa nova sound of João Gilberto (a Brazilian superstar in the 1950s) that formed the foundation of Veloso's intensely eclectic pop.

Longtime friends and collaborators Caetano Veloso and David Byrne joined forces for a special Carnegie Hall concert broadcast on National Public Radio in the spring of 2004. Eight years later, Live at Carnegie Hall is released, containing highlights from this stripped-down, primarily acoustic meeting of one of Tropicalia's biggest artists with one of the pillars of art rock. Sequenced in the order the concert was played, the disc begins with a solo set by Veloso ending with his cover of the Talking Heads' "The Revolution" to segue into Byrne's set. While not exactly a hushed affair, there's a quietly breezy feeling throughout the recording. Veloso's incredibly smooth voice is the definition of Brazilian pop: laid-back and welcoming at all times.

Poet and musician, the true soul of cultural Brazil: this is Caetano Veloso. This live set features him in two delicious duets with fellow musician Lulu Santos, and also contains great reworkings of some little heard Jobim tunes. Most interestingly, it includes a lot of material from Veloso's 'Tropicalia' era, with many songs in Portuguese.
